Useful & Interesting, but cites pseudoscientific evidence to support theoretical claims.

Revisado: 03-24-25

When this book is good, it's very good. When this book is bad, it can touch on claims that have been disproven enough to call it pseudoscience. Towards the end, it drifts outside the scope of sound healing and into some very "theory of everything" pseudoscientific mechanisms.

Personally, I find the theorizing in the book too be almost useless, but the things she says that are based on anecdotal patient outcomes and personal experience and her relationship with her spiritual teacher are much more interesting and don't require the same burden of proof, which is where the book really shines.

aristocrat propaganda

Revisado: 05-14-24

old money European writes propaganda under a philosophical veil prescribing underclass subservience to traditionalist centralized government as a panacea to the problems of the 20th century. hog-wash.

good scripting and editing.

Revisado: 03-28-24

obviously the stormlight archive uses fantastic narrators. although in the main line books they are split up chapter by chapter where chapters that predominantly feature a male character's perspective are read by the male narrator and chapters that feature predominantly a female characters perspective are read by the female. however, in this one it's been broken up a bit more granularly almost resembling the script to a TV show or movie and the way those performances are edited together is absolutely fantastic. as far as an immersive listening experience, this is one of the best I've come across, especially since I'm already fairly fond of the main characters in this book as they are very compelling side characters from the mainline series.

better than expected

Revisado: 02-14-23

I thought this would be a lot of self grandization and some bullshit "what I learned" follow ups, it has a little of that, but over all it's a very interesting story of you like 1st hand combat accounts and are interested in the history of US involvement in the middle east.

Goggins

Revisado: 02-07-23

Shit makes you behave differently and want to be a Savage in your own life. I don't run out work out, but Goggins inspires me to do better. I'm a partner in a manufacturing business. often times I could pack it in an hour or two before we close, but this book makes me want to be a silent leader, so instead of packing it in early in the last hour or two when all my office work or production tasks are done, I do the shittiest cleaning/maintenance task I can find to make sure I'm staying hard and treating my workers right. all because Goggin's books challenge you to want more from yourself.

not quite the pay off the first 3 had.

Revisado: 10-31-19

excellent exposition for the last volume but not quite the pay off the first 3 had. Pretty fucking awesome battles and imagery as you expect from the series though

this series doesn't let me down.

Revisado: 09-23-19

the story is so well premeditated I find my self repeating chapters and seeing that the characters hidden motivations have been in play the entire time.

the attribution of beatificince to the unknown

Revisado: 07-30-19

wonderful narration. I did not know what I was getting into at first I thought I would be slugging through cheesy sci-fi. The introduction and setting give no expectation of what you'll find in this story. however for those who will take the time to unpack the multiple layers of meaning you will find a highly thought provoking work of literature.

When did humans start acting like humans?

Revisado: 11-20-18

This book looks to answer that question and follows human behaviors back to their evolutionary first occurrence. then comes full circle to point out how our unique evolution has guided our species over the world. very much in the vein of sapiens
